2+ week, 5+ day ago (507+ words) Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb might want to send the Haslams a thank-you card, say the podcast hosts on Today in Ohio. Despite his initial fight to keep the Browns on the lakefront, a new financial analysis shows the team's departure might be the terrific financial news. A comprehensive review by cleveland.com reporters Sean McDonnell and Rich Exner has revealed what many city finance experts have long suspected: the Browns stadium has been a consistent money-loser for Cleveland taxpayers. "Sean and Rich crunched the numbers, and they found that Cleveland spends about $19 million a year on costs tied to the stadium," explained Leila Atassi.

2+ week, 2+ day ago (434+ words) CLEVELAND, Ohio " The Cavs entered Thursday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors with expectations rooted in their defensive identity. They have the reigning Defensive Player of the Year in Evan Mobley. They have one of the league's premier rim-protecting duos in Mobley and Jarrett Allen. And yet, in a 126-113 loss that left fans shaking their heads, Cleveland surrendered 60 points in the paint and 28 fast-break points, looking anything but elite. This defensive collapse was the focal point of the latest Wine and Gold Talk podcast, where host Ethan Sands and cleveland.com columnist Jimmy Watkins broke down head coach Kenny Atkinson's blunt postgame assessment: Atkinson's words described a team whose identity has evaporated.
